Patented July 6, 1926. I I i This invention relates to improvements In tobacco pipes of ordinary make, incon- Vvenience is caused by moisture penetrating the bore of the pipe mouth-piece and stem and entering the bottom of the bowl, thus rendering the use of the'pipe objectionable I V and being frequently the means whereby the bore becomes choked up; y q

Now, the object of my inventionisto remedy this defect-and tothis end'I provide a tube designed to be inserted into the bore ofthe pipe'stem so that itipasses into and across the bottom-of the bowl,*its inner end I abutting against or recessed into the wall of r the bowl. That portion of the tube within thelbowl is formed at'its. upper part with" a hole or holes and to the rearof this portion the top half of the centre of the tube is cut away and the channel so formed is divided into one or 'more compartments which serve as moisture traps The outer end of the tube enters the mouthpiece when v the latter is pushed or screwed into the, stem in the usual way. v

By employing my device as above described the fiow of moisture intorand "from the pipe bowl is wholly or largely prevented andthe tube provides a convenient means for cleaning thepipe bore, .7 I z 7 In the accompanying drawing g Figure -1 is a longitudinalvertical section of a pipe fitted with a moisture collecting tube in accordance with the invention;

Theinner end of the tube, that is to say, that end which is within the pipe bowl (1 is either madesquare and enters a recess a in the bowl, as shewn in Figure 1, 'orit is'bevelledand bears against a p the curved bottom of the bowl, as ishew n in- Figure 4.
